Apparently, scientists have recently discovered a connection between heavy cell phone usage and excessive saliva!!!
The causes of excessive saliva
Phones aside though, more often than not it is simply caused by your body producing more saliva or a sudden decrease in the body’s ability to swallow and/or keep saliva in your mouth.
There are other things that cause excessive saliva production which on consulting clinical staff they are listed as; an infection in your mouth, a medication side effect most often caused by reserpine, pilocarpine, isoproterenol and clozapine, Teething, Pregnancy, GERD, Acute sinusitis, Allergies, Parkinson’s disease, Enlarged adenoids, a Tumor that affects your tongue and lips, Stroke, Stomatitis which is an inflammation in the mucous membranes within your mouth and dentures that don’t fit or are new to you.
As you can see from this list of the most common causes of sudden excessive saliva in your mouth there are a lot you can rule out in an instant but the best thing to do is visit your local GP where they can help you find out what is causing the problem.
As you can see there are a lot of scary diseases on this list and these are just some of the most common, there are more that are rare but if you feel that you are suffering from excessive saliva then going to see a doctor is what is best for you so that they can rule out any of the above.
Most of the above can be treated with a routine pill that will stop or alleviate the symptoms without too much trouble. Not everything is something to worry about so until you have had an actual medical doctor confirm the cause, try not to worry too much as it may just be something simple that can be treated easily.
